Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We understand the importance of privacy, especially when it comes to financial information. Our paycheck calculator is designed to process all calculations locally in your web browser, meaning your personal financial data never leaves your device and is never transmitted to our servers.

Information You Provide

We do not require you to create an account or provide personal information to use our calculator. The calculator operates entirely within your browser, and any information you enter (such as salary amounts, deductions, or filing status) is processed locally and is not collected or stored by us.

Automatically Collected Information

When you visit our Site, we and our third-party service providers may automatically collect certain information about your device and browsing behavior, including:

• Log Data: Information such as your IP address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our Site that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and other statistics
• Device Information: Information about your device, including device type, operating system, screen resolution, and browser settings
• Usage Information: Information about how you interact with our Site, such as which pages you visit, how long you stay on pages, and what links you click
• Location Information: General geographic location based on your IP address (we do not collect precise location data)

This automatically collected information helps us understand how visitors use our Site, improve our services, and ensure the Site functions properly. This information is generally non-personally identifiable and is used in aggregate form.
